📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughSolverMuJoCo now supports separated CPU runtime worlds. Each world has independent ChangesMuJoCo CPU multi-world support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The CPU multi-world change adds independent native state and masked reset, but model-change notifications can overwrite world positions, later worlds may expose stale derived dynamics, and an interrupted batch can leave worlds partially advanced for unsafe retries. These issues can corrupt simulation or sensor outputs and require fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

MuJoCo 3.11.0 engine_setconst.c mj_setConst setSpring d->qpos qpos_spring
💡 Result:
In MuJoCo, the function mj_setConst is the standard entry point for updating constant fields within an mjModel when model parameters or configurations change at runtime [1][2]. Specifically, it performs a series of internal updates to ensure that downstream physics calculations remain consistent with the current model state [1][2]. One of the key tasks handled by mj_setConst is the invocation of setSpring, which computes and caches values dependent on the qpos_spring configuration [1][2]. The qpos_spring field represents the reference pose for joint springs [3]. During the simulation loop, passive forces—including those from springs—are calculated using the difference between the current generalized coordinates (d->qpos) and the reference pose (m->qpos_spring) [4][5]. For most joint types, such as hinge and slide joints, this spring force is computed as: force = -stiffness * (d->qpos - m->qpos_spring) [4][5] For rotational joints like ball joints, the difference is computed using quaternion subtraction to maintain correct angular mechanics [4][5]. By calling mj_setConst after modifying the model, you ensure that the engine correctly propagates these changes to the internal structures required for these force computations [1][2][6]. As noted in the MuJoCo documentation, qpos_spring is considered safe to modify provided that mj_setConst is subsequently called to refresh the dependent constant fields [6].

Preserve each native world's state when calling mj_setConst.
MuJoCo 3.11.0's mj_setConst copies mj_model.qpos_spring into MjData.qpos. The CPU notify_model_changed() path calls it for property updates but does not restore qpos or recompute derived data. With update_data_interval=0, the next mj_step can start from qpos_spring, and _update_newton_state can write the incorrect state back to Newton. Preserve each world's qpos/qvel around _set_const_cpu_data() and call mj_forward afterward.
